Taco Latkes 

Ingredients
1 can whole kernel corn drained
1 can cream style sweet corn
1 large egg
¾ cup flour
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp baking powder
oil for frying
1 lb chopped meat
1 taco seasoning packet
¾ cup water
Guacamole and Tofutti sour cream for garnish 

Directions
To make Latke Batter: 
In a large bowl combine whole kernel corn, sweet style corn, egg, salt, pepper and baking powder. Then pour in flour and mix until all ingredients combined. Let mixture chill in the fridge for ten minutes

To make taco meat: 
While the mixture is in the fridge, in a pan brown the chopped meat until no longer pink. Drain the chopped meat and then add the taco seasoning and water. Let simmer until thickened and meat is cooked all the way through.

Frying the latke: 
In another pan add oil to fry. When oil is hot drop two tablespoons of your corn mixture making sure they are big enough to support your taco. Set up a plate with paper towel to cool your latke. Fry 2 minutes per a side. 

Assembling the latke:
Place one corn fritter on a plate, top with taco mixture, a dollop of guacamole and parve sour cream.
